Chapter 464: Didn’t you try your best? slander!
"I don't have the qualifications..."

After listening to Gu Hang's words, Yan Fangxu repeated it silently in his mind, and felt a little excited in his heart!
Thinking back to the time when he was thrown off the ship by Ye Lixia and went from being an Imperial Marine with a 'bright future' to working as a military advisor to Gu Hang, who at that time only had a group of servitors as starting capital, he never expected that, Only seventeen years later, he had already obtained the rank of general.

This year, he has just celebrated his forty-fifth birthday.

In many general families with a military tradition, the most outstanding young descendants may be able to become generals in their forties, but generals? This is already the upper limit of many top military noble families!
In the past, we might have talked about the Alliance generals who were similar to the Planetary Defense Forces. Can they be compared with the Astra Militarum generals?
Now, no one has said this.

It's hard to explain, but at least in the Alliance's one-third of an acre, in the 88 worlds of Seven Horses, the generals of the Astra Militarum are definitely not as effective as the Generals of the Alliance.

He had long since stopped doubting whether his original decision was correct. It's just that certain concepts that have been in his mind since he was growing up are always somewhat ingrained.

But today, Governor Gu's words have the effect of clearing the air.

The current alliance is no longer what it was many years ago.

"I understand." Yan Fangxu said, "Please give instructions from the Governor, what should we do next?"

"We will do whatever we want to do, at our own pace. As for the small ship in orbit, let Martins take people on board to take over. I doubt their identity. The Alliance just suffered from the mutinous Space Marines two years ago. I have reason to suspect that the identity of this group of people is false.”

In the orbit of the Winged Star, Javier Cordoba has been very silent in the past two days.

It took two months to win the Battle of Temir, and four months to break into the Iron Teeth Clan's lair... If the alliance is serious, maybe it's not impossible to do it!

You didn't try your best, what a fart! slander! This alliance is completely useless!

As for how much the alliance had to pay for their orders, they didn't care. At most, they would just give them a painless commendation afterwards.

In the past two years of war, everyone in the Raging Flames had personally experienced the power of this green-skinned clan. Facing this kind of enemy, it would be very difficult for the Alliance to maintain a balance or even make some progress on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Even a giant belly with no fighting ability should be recruited by the government and used to transport supplies to the front line!
Why can the commercial exchanges within the star region be so developed?
Does this look like a war?

This is a two-level reversal in Cordoba's understanding of the political entity of the 'Union'.

Cordoba can only use building better roads, better water supply systems, and better power supply systems as preparations to increase production capacity as an excuse for itself. And ignore that these are not temporary measures, but are well repaired, as if they will last decades or hundreds of years, and it would be better to use them to deal with war regardless of short-term costs.

How could the alliance not try their best... their efforts are totally useless!
Although he did not land on the Flying Wing Star to see the capital city of the Pegasus Star District, the core territory of the alliance, on the way, when entering the Qima Land from the Bianma Star District, he and his warriors still took the time to land on the ground. Been there.

But at that time, both he and the Chapter Leader himself knew this statement very well: it was a spur and an excuse. Maybe the Alliance really didn't try their best, and their play style was more conservative, but after all, they were facing the Iron Teeth Clan.

That said, it's barely fair.

The fringe world is like this. Cordoba can’t even imagine what it’s like in the core territory of the alliance!
When he truly entered the core territory of the alliance, his thoughts were further deepened.

But Erso felt it wasn't enough.

But investing in infrastructure?

But this also made him realize another problem: the Alliance, which had not exerted much force, was tied with the Iron Teeth Clan, and even had a little bit of progress. Then when they became completely serious and really unleashed all their war potential. , how strong their war capabilities will be?
From this perspective, there is really nothing wrong with the order given by the Chapter Leader.

If he really prepared for war with all his strength, could an ordinary worker from a fringe planet among the alliance's forces live such a life?

"Yes!"

Before coming, what he heard from Chapter Master Erso was that the Alliance did not use all its strength in this war.

What they want is to force the alliance to attack with all their strength, draw more greenskin forces on the eastern front, and create opportunities for the frontal battlefield.

They did not really expect that a sector-level force, plus a group of phoenixes that were almost wiped out more than ten years ago, could really accomplish the war goals designated by Erso.

Construction projects are going on everywhere, newly expanded factories, infrastructure investment and construction for economic development...

According to his observation, the life of these people is quite good, and they can be regarded as well-off.

The waterway is so prosperous that Cordoba simply cannot believe that it is in a state of war.

And what he saw in Xinbaochenxing in Bianmaxing District was that the worker's family lived well and ate well, and the family went out to buy two new clothes together on their day off - it was at this time that they were arrested. Cordoba stopped and asked about the situation.

How long has it been since you were still engaged in something like this that requires a lot of investment and is effective but requires a long-term perspective?

……

However, when Javier Cordoba actually arrived in the alliance, he found that something seemed wrong.

You have so many ships, shouldn’t they all be put on the front line to fight? Even if it is a civilian ship, finding a way to put a few cannons in it will be a help!

He is not blind, he can see what this league looks like now.

Are you taking the war a little too seriously?

You say he is a space warrior, and he is indeed; but when it comes to fighting, he has nothing, he is easily killed, and he cannot display his due combat effectiveness at all.

It doesn't matter at this glance, even the outer sphere of influence of the alliance such as the Bianma Star District is an eye-opener for them.

Now, to be honest, the alliance has done a good job. The two sides have obviously fought so fiercely on the frontal battlefield, but the reinforcements recruited by the greenskins from their own nests have actually been lower than the human strategic estimates. The deficient parts were of course made up for on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Although he was cautious and did not land on the surface of any world in the Pegasus sector, he could see many civilian ships sailing in the star tunnels and in the void within the galaxy.

The Phoenix said that they have returned to the scale of 500 people, which seems to be a lot of people, but maybe they have used up the stock of genetic races they left behind, right? And they are all new recruits, what kind of combat effectiveness can they have? There was no time to build up the fleet's ships and auxiliary forces, and they all belonged to that alliance.

It's not the prosperity, but the vigor.

If the former can still understand that there is a war on the front line, then it is certainly necessary to expand production capacity; even if it is not a military factory, but some basic factories and civilian factories, it is still understandable. This is an interstellar society. Different worlds will naturally have corresponding divisions of labor according to their different world environments. Some worlds are devoted to industrial production, and some worlds provide civilian supplies and daily necessities so that workers in the military-industrial world can be supported...

Such a battle group with five hundred men is like a space warrior without armor.

It wasn't until he observed the living standards of civilians in this world that he completely broke his guard.

Even if the alliance doesn't use all its strength, it should be almost there.

But what he saw was obviously just an ordinary worker, but his living standard was already better than the world he had seen in many peaceful times. Even in some worlds that claim to be powerful, especially some hive worlds, the lives of the residents at the bottom are worse than pigs and dogs.

At this level, Cordoba cannot help but not be serious.

He must re-evaluate the strength of this so-called alliance.

No, not just him, but the entire Chapter had to be re-evaluated.

But the current task has become more difficult. The reason is simple. If the alliance is as strong as they imagined, then nothing can be said.

Do you dare not to listen?
If they disobey orders, Cordoba may not be able to deal with them, but if they go back, they will be declared traitors in the name of disobeying orders. They can even mobilize some forces to suppress the rebellion during the war.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the alliance suddenly giving up its allegiances and the Eastern Front battlefield collapsing. It's not a war between the same clan. There is no such thing as quitting the fight against the greenskins and turning over to the enemy at the last minute. The greenskins won't accept surrender either.

But now, the war potential shown by the alliance makes it impossible to do so.

You gave him the name of a traitor and then came to quell the rebellion, but he beat him up and turned around and sued the empire, saying that you were messing around. How are you going to deal with this?

But since strong methods are of no use, what should we do with the orders given by the Chapter Leader?
Governor Gu made it clear that he didn't care.

Cordoba was helpless.

But just dragging it out like this is not an option.

He doesn't even have a way to communicate directly with the chapter leader now. The astrology equipment on his ship and a member of the chapter's think tank he brought over have neither the ability to break through the obstacles in the green tide of subspace. Directly contacting Yunluo Star or Jindi Star, there is no ability to detour from Donglin Star Territory to DiaoSi Star Territory and then back to Dragon Eagle Star Territory. Star language communication across three star fields is really a bit too difficult.

After struggling for two days and unable to think of any solution, Cordoba decided to withdraw.

He planned to return the same way, at least to the Donglin Star Territory, and to the Donglin capital world - the Three Brahma Stars. From there, he could borrow a powerful astrology tower to communicate with the Chapter Leader.

However, just as he was making up his mind, news suddenly came from his subordinates: The Alliance military sent a message saying that they had been attacked by Space Marine traitors in the Iron Horse sector before, and now there was reason to doubt whether their identities were really Wrathful Flames. 'Friends' of the Chapter.

They asked to board the ship for inspection.

Cordoba laughed angrily.

He is also a veteran with three golden nails and has been fighting in the sea of ​​stars for more than three hundred years. In such a long time, he has never been treated like this.

Moreover, the alliance's request not only seems humiliating, but the meaning behind it also requires careful consideration.

an examination?
I'm afraid I'm going to detain him!

Without even thinking about it, Cordoba was about to reject this request.

However, before he could finish dictating the words of rejection, the situation took a new turn.

The stargazers on the ship detected the Wing Star's star fort and the anti-orbital cannon on the ground, and locked them.

Generally speaking, these interstellar fires can hide their intentions when locking on targets, and the ship he is on is also quite weak in detecting fire locks.

If the Alliance opens fire without saying hello, they will definitely be smashed into pieces in space without knowing anything.

But the Alliance did not do this. They nakedly revealed their intention to lock down, which was obviously a warning: if you dare to make any changes, it is a sure sign that you may be traitors.

The alliance will definitely kill this point afterwards.

How to do?
Cordoba gritted his teeth and with a heartbeat, he ordered the ship to ignore these firepower locks and sail away from the orbit of the Winged Star at full speed.

To put it bluntly, he had one idea: I really didn’t expect the alliance to be so strong, but no matter how strong it is, do you really dare to use that unfounded statement to directly use force against our Raging Flames Chapter?

That nature has changed!

Of course, he still provided basic protection.

Nearly a hundred angry warriors under his command all boarded the escape pod.

If something really happened, there would be a way out.

However, something even more surprising came to him.

Indeed, the firepower on the ground and in the star fort was not actually launched. The alliance's political thinking would not be so reckless. Directly blowing up a 'friendly' ship containing a hundred Space Marines, the impact would be too bad.

But the alliance is not without other means.

As the light flickered, more than three hundred space warriors in red armor arrived on Cordoba's ship through teleportation.

These figures once felt very familiar to Cordoba.

Back then, during the civil war in the Princess Star Territory, Cordoba had personal experience and had to deal with the Phoenix Chapter - a real fight.

He personally killed three phoenixes.

And now, these phoenixes are back.

They were heavily armed and menacing.

The three leading tactical teams were even equipped with original Terminator power armor.

A conflict broke out between the two sides in silence.

But basic restraint still exists.

The Phoenix didn't fire, and neither did the Raging Flames.

They didn't even use weapons such as chain swords. The two paintings were quite similar. One red and one orange Space Marines, wearing battle armor, fought together with bare hands.

After Cordoba defeated seven Phoenixes, including three Terminators, he looked around and saw that all his men were lying on the ground.

At the same time, thirty people, including more than ten Terminators, surrounded him.

Cordoba's hand once touched the power sword hanging on his waist.

But in the end, he let go.

The tide is gone.

These phoenixes are not fucking recruits at all!
Although they were just fighting with bare hands and no one was killed, their current performance made Cordoba, a veteran warrior, have to admit that these Phoenix people all have the strength level of official space warriors!
